La Brea Bakery Take & Bake Seeded Sourdough Rolls
What it is
These are pre-formed sourdough rolls ready for you to bake at home. They have a distinctive tangy flavor from the sourdough starter and are coated with a blend of seeds for added texture and a nutty taste. The dough is prepared and shaped, then chilled, so you can finish the baking process when you are ready to serve them fresh. They offer a convenient way to enjoy artisanal bread without the full effort of making it from scratch.
How people cook with it
These rolls are perfect for a quick side dish or to elevate a simple meal. They pair well with a variety of main courses.
- Alongside soups and stews
- As a base for mini sandwiches
- With butter and jam for breakfast
- To accompany a cheese board
To prepare, simply preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the packaging. Remove the rolls from their packaging and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, usually until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. The aroma of freshly baked bread will fill your kitchen. They are best served warm, straight from the oven, to enjoy their crisp crust and soft interior.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fully baked rolls, these offer the advantage of being finished just before serving, ensuring maximum freshness and a superior crust. The seeded exterior provides a textural contrast and a subtle nutty flavor that is not present in plain sourdough rolls.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to serve fresh, artisanal bread.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unbaked rolls refrigerated until you are ready to use them. Once baked, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, or freeze them for longer storage.
